The TAFC 5.40 Club is here.............

SpeedZone Magazine,David Smith and SpeedZonemagazine.com is proud to present the Top Alcohol Funny Car exclusive "5.40" club!!!

"This is something both David Smith and Editor/Publisher Dean Murdcoh have been talking about for a couple month's.
With all the focus on the Professional classes and Pro Modified, a huge barrier for the TAFC class is right here and it is time for some recognition for the fourth quickest class and arguably the toughest class for a driver in drag racing.

The "SpeedZone Magazine TAFC 5.40 club" presented by David Smith will award the first driver to hit a 5.499 or better at a divisional or National event (must be at an official NHRA event, no testing) a Cheque for
$500.00 minimum (if more companies or fans can help to up the anty email me) a Special Leather/Wool designed club jacket with the drivers name/ et and date and the sponsors who participate engraved on it and a plaque commemerating the historic event.
We will also award the next 7 drivers who accomplish the feat, a cheque for $100.00 and a plaque.
This is quite a barrier for the TAFC teams as the last big barrier into the fives happened in 1989. The first 5.50 lap was way back in 1999.

Now I know this is not a lot of cash, but it is the best we could come up with at this time. We are looking for more fans or companies to get involved in this. These guys deserve it.

Email me (speedzone@telus.net) if you want to participate. lets build this up to $1,000 or more and $250.00 for the rest that hit the mark.

We will also be doing this in a larger scale for a "TAD 4 second club" with details to come in the near future.
(with the new % rules the time for an a/Fueler to run a four is still a ways away).
